    Summary

    You are a grad student in your last semester of research, preparing to present the project that's taken years of your life. Due to a serendipitous accident in scheduling, you find yourself with unfettered access to Hector Valentino Earnesto Castillo: a sweet, poetic archivist who can and will find literally anything you need for your work -- so long as you don't try to see what he looks like.
    The months-long flirtation between the two of you comes to a head one stormy afternoon.

    Summary

    You're a newly folded paper airplane that gets caught up in Hector's grate. He's a little surprised with the sudden encounter but does his best to help, and you seem very trusting and sweet... Though he insists you're impressive (and pretty), you're rather clumsy, and keep getting stuck with him. A friendship blooms, and you're the first to show him love, and that his efforts are highly appreciated even by other objects.

    Summary

    Sinners have no need for salvation. They need only the familiar call of the organ, the smoke of the censer, and a taste of holy blood.

    Summary

    In this AU, Hector, your very human, and very friendly neighbor, is seemingly there everywhere you turn.

    ___

    You’re more than ready to start over, and this time you’ve got more than luck up your sleeve. Trust and confidentiality is a luxury that few can afford with you. For the few who do know, you hope you’ve escaped their grasp. But how long can you ride this secret out before it impacts your brand new life and friendships?

    Things are looking up for you as long as you keep your mouth shut, but maybe you don't want to think about how strangely easy it's been for you lately-- after all, you shouldn't look a gift-horse in the mouth, should you?

    Summary

    The year is 1800 something, England. You have just inherited the Valdivian estate of a distant uncle of yours. However, due to law and you being a woman, you cannot publicly claim the house as your own; otherwise, you'd be forced into a marriage with no input of your own, so you must remain inside as often as possible to avoid word getting out. Thankfully, the servants of the house are a friendly bunch, ensuring your solitude is anything but lonely. However, letters of love started appearing in your window from a secret admirer. You aren't sure who it could be, but you have taken a liking to the attention. But even as your heart leans toward your mysterious poet, your gaze keeps straying to another. A timid chimney sweeper who can scarcely meet your eyes, let alone speak a word, yet something in his awkwardness charms you. The more he recoils, the more you find yourself drawn in, unbeknownst to the secret he holds.
